Short, direct answers to the most common Teaching Tracker questions. For step-by-step guides, follow the related articles at the end.
What is the Teaching Tracker?
It's a Kanban board for your teaching. Each topic is a card you move across status columns — Upcoming, Scheduled, Teaching now, Taught, Revisit, Skipped — so you always know what you've covered and what's next, per course, batch, or student.
Can students see my Teaching Tracker?
No. The Tracker is a private planning tool for you (the teacher). Students never see your boards, statuses, notes, or pacing. Pacing nudges go only to the board's owner.
Do I have to build a course first?
No. You can import an existing course's lessons, describe a plan and let AI draft the topics, or start from a blank board and add topics by hand — and mix these on the same board anytime.
How does the AI lesson plan work?
Describe what you'll teach in a sentence and AI returns an ordered set of topics — each with a title, a one-line description, a module grouping, and a rough class length — added to your board as Upcoming cards you can edit, reorder, or delete. AI features are part of the paid plans.
Is the Teaching Tracker free?
Tracking, the board, the table, the syllabus, pacing, embeds, and file uploads are available on your workspace. The AI lesson-plan and AI deck features run on the paid plans; on the free (starter) plan those buttons show a crown and prompt you to upgrade.
How is pacing calculated?
Coverage is taught topics divided by total topics. Velocity is how many topics you've taught per week so far, and the projected finish date extends that pace across what's left. A topic counts as 'behind' when its planned date has passed and it isn't marked taught.
Can I present my slides from the Tracker?
Yes. Generate an AI slide deck from a topic, embed a Canva or Google Slides link, or upload a PowerPoint/PDF — then click Present to open it full-screen from the card or the table. PowerPoint files preview through Microsoft's Office viewer.
How does it relate to my courses and live classes?
The Tracker reads your existing course curriculum (to seed topics) and your live classes (to link the class a topic was taught in). It never duplicates them — it's an overlay that adds teaching status, schedule, and a resource hub on top of what you already have.
